Nobody can say no to Pierre Herme macarons, especially not when it's already right in front of your eyes and you didn't have to fly to Paris just to try them. It turns out that Pierre Herme opened a shop in Bangkok, right in the heart of Emquartier, which is a huge ass mall with lots of food and branded items, similar to Siam Paragon.

We got the 7 piece macaron which came up to about 37SGD.

Expensive, but no regrets.

TRUFFLE BLANCHE & NOISETTE

white truffle and roasted piedmont hazelnut slivers

This is part of the Christmas seasonal special flavour.

If you like truffles, this is it.

Mildly salty mixed in with some sweetness, this is a really unique flavour.

ISPAHAN

rose, litchi and raspberry

This macaron is their best selling flavour and it's all about texture. There were little bits of pinkish stuff inside, can't quite tell what it is but it added some oomph to the cream.

INFINIMENT CHOCOLAT PAINEIRAS

pure origin brazilian dark chocolate, paineiras plantation

This is hands down one of the best chocolate I have ever had. The chocolate is so creamy it's almost like a thick and silky smooth ice cream.

CREME BRULEE

vanilla and caramel bits

INFINIMENT PRALINE NOISETTE

hazelnut praline and crispy praline

See what I mean about nothing is ever that simple with these macarons? Bite open and there's almost always a surprise waiting inside.

INFINIMENT MANDARINE

mandarin orange and candied mandarin orange

One of my favourite flavours is this orange one. It looks simple but the addition of candied orange really takes the citrusy notes to a higher level.
